EFGS 2020 Webinar
20 – 21 October 2020
About the webinar
European Forum for Geography and Statistics (EFGS) 2020 Webinar was held on 20-21 October 2020. The webinar was organized by Statistics Poland with support from EFGS, Eurostat and Head Office of Geodesy and Cartography in Poland. Please note that this meeting was organized in place of 13th EFGS Conference on integration of geography and statistics and was held for the first time in a scaled down virtual format. Due to the continued impact of COVID-19 EFGS conference could not be organized in its traditional form in 2020.
During the event we explored five sections of the GSGF principles, which formed the main thematic sessions of the webinar:
1. Use of fundamental geospatial infrastructure and geocoding;
2. Geocoded unit record data in a data management environment;
3. Common geographies for dissemination of statistics;
4. Statistical and geospatial interoperability;
5. Accessible and usable.

EFGS
Today EFGS has national contact persons from more than 40 states and territories, having annual conferences and meetings. European Forum for Geography and Statistics (previously called European Forum for Geostatistics) activities are mainly concentrated on the development of the best practices in the production of geostatistics in Europe.
More information about activity of the community you can find on the EFGS website www.efgs.info.
Lars H. Backer Prize
The Lars H. Backer Prize in memoriam of Mr. Lars H. Backer is awarded annually during EFGS conferences for major contributions to the development of a geospatial foundation for official statistics or for significantly improving the relevance of geospatial statistics for evidence-based decision making.
The Prize has a great importance for the winner and the whole EFGS community gathering to celebrate and congratulate the winner. However, due to the current pandemic situation and no possibility to organize a face to face meeting, EFGS Steering Committee has decided to postpone the nominations for the Prize until the next EFGS conference planned in 2021.
